Further uniting the Democratic Party behind Barack Obama as its nominee, the New York congressional delegation this afternoon came out en masse to declare him their standard bearer and laud Hillary Clinton's planned endorsement of Obama on Saturday.
"We come here collectively to endorse the decision by our fearless leader," Representative Charlie Rangel told reporters. "We're so proud of her."
Rangel has been among Clinton's most loyal supporters, but on Wednesday he publicly called out the New York senator for not acknowledging that Obama had won the nomination. After hours of pressure from Rangel and other key backers, Clinton's campaign issued a statement Wednesday night about the Saturday endorsement event.
Rangel called Obama an "outstanding candidate."
